Where was all this "come together" talk when Bush won? If McCain had won, people would be lamenting for weeks and saying the same things. A lot of us are disappointed, but the majority of us will pull it together and support the president, no matter who he is. Are we not allowed to have a few days to be a little sad and disappointed?
